Completely round is the perfect pearl
The oyster manufactures
Completely round is the steering wheel
Which leads to compound fractures
Completely round is the golden fruit
That hangs in the orange tree
Yes, the circle shape is quite renowned
And sad to say it can be found
In the low-down dirty runaround
My true love gave to me
Yes, my true love gave to me
Completely square was the velvet box
He said my ring would be in
Completely square was the envelope
He said goodbye to me in
Completely square is the handkerchief
I flourish constantly
As I dry my eyes of the tears I′ve shed
And blow my nose till it turns bright red
For a perfect square is my true love's head
He will not marry me
No, he will not marry me
Rectangular was the hotel door
My true love tried to sneak through
Rectangular was the transom
Over which I had to peek through
Rectangular was the hotel room
I entered angrily
And rectangular is the wooden box
Where lies my love ′neath the golden flocks
They say he died of the chicken pox
In part I must agree
One chick too many had he
Triangular is the piece of pie
I eat to ease my sorrow
Triangular is the hatchet blade
I plan to hide tomorrow
Triangular the relationship
Which now has ceased to be
And triangular is the garment pin
Which fastens on with a safety pin
To a prize I had no wish to win
It's a lasting memory
That my true love gave to me
